Overview

This bibliography compiles a variety of primary and secondary works related to One More Voice. In keeping with project practices, the bibliography does not seek to be comprehensive, but rather presents various sources encountered during the development of the project that may be useful to users. The core of the bibliography reflects the origins of One More Voice as a sibling project of Livingstone Online, which centers of Victorian-era British exploration in Africa. The bibliography divides into the following subsections:

  • Original works generally date to the nineteenth century and encompass both manuscript and print sources. The individuals and groups taken up by One More Voice serve as either authors of or contributors to such works.
  • Works of folklore generally date to the nineteenth century and encompass both manuscript and print sources. These works are rarely “authored” by the individuals and groups taken up by One More Voice and should be approached with exceptional critical caution. Nonetheless, the works together serve as an important, if highly mediated, repository of relevant voices.
  • Historical sources generally date to the nineteenth century and encompass both manuscript and print sources. These sources provide historical context for the individuals and groups whose work is published and/or documented by One More Voice.
  • Studies of individuals and groups are modern critical works that focus on the individuals and groups taken up by One More Voice.
  • Critical and theoretical studies engage broad and/or abstract questions relevant to the development of One More Voice.
  • Digital projects and archives are initiatives whose objectives and methodologies bear affinity to those of One More Voice. This subsection also include secondary works that center on digital projects and archives.
  • Site illustrations comprise images used to illustrate the One More Voice project site.

The bibliography continues to evolve as the project evolves. To suggest additional sources, please email us. Users with an interest in travel and exploration may also want to consult Livingstone Online’s general, but more wide-ranging bibliography.
